ODETimeDerivative

Returns the time derivative contribution to the residual for a scalar variable.

A scalar variable can be set to the solution of an ordinary differential equation (ODE), as specified in the Scalar Kernels syntax page. This kernel adds a time derivative term. The time integration scheme will be shared with the other non-linear variables. To use a different time integrating scheme, the ODETimeDerivative scalar kernel should be replaced with a custom implementation.

Example input syntax

In this example, the scalar variables x and y are the solutions to the coupled ODE problem:
